Photos and reports are just now coming in from the violent windstorm that punished the entire Pacific Northwest. Many power lines are down shutting schools and businesses, stalling public transit, and as well, frustrating those looking for a hot cup of coffee.

Associate Press is reporting that 1.5 million homes and businesses in Washington and Oregon had no power early Friday. "One of the concourses at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was without electricity, and an airport spokesman said some flights were canceled...about 30 flights were scratched at Portland International Airport, a spokesman said, and Amtrak canceled service between Portland and Seattle."
